A closeup of the side of a building fills the left 2/3 of the frame. The foundation is made of coursed-cut stone, and the lower half of the wall is made of vertical, brown painted boards and has a brown metal flashing between the wall and the stone foundation. The upper portion of the wall is made of windows with brown painted wooden frames. In the right 1/3 of the frame, sparse trees just showing spring leaf buds partially mask the view of a muddy river with high water and a boat dock under construction.

Inside a building under renovation, where the floor has been pulled up and new plumbing has been installed. A large, white pvc sewer pipe runs down the center, away from the viewer, and several pipes branch of and then turn upwards for sinks, vents, and other attachments. Copper pipes run vertically through what will be the interior of a wall, some insulated with foam and some bare. The wall to the left has paneling removed to reveal square stud framing and a few copper pipes.

The interior of a roof space has been photographed with a wide angle lense. The ceiling between the rafters is made of wooden boards and the peaked roof is similarly constructed. A large, plastic PVC pipe comes in from the right and then turns downward through the ceiling in the center of the frame. Bare copper pipes enter the frame from the left and right turn in several places, crossing the space in an orderly fashion. Electrical conduits similarly occupy space along the far side of the roof, and an aluminum vent pipe passes through the roof on the far side. A single light bulb illuminates the space near the top center of the frame.

Inside a building constructed of coursed-cut stone with brown wooden beam framing, a portion of the concrete floor has been removed. The dirt behind the foundation has been removed, and fresh concrete can be seen around the edge of the stone foundation. The space behind the concrete has been filled in with white foam blocks. A rebar lattice has been placed over the fresh concrete, foam, and bare ground in preparation for new concrete. Wooden railings in the lower right corner separate the prepared area from an area out of frame.

A closeup of the side of a building fills the left 3/4 of the frame. The building is sided with brown painted wood shingles, and the bottom rows of shingles have been removed and a sheet of black material has been attached where they used to be. The foundation of the building, visible below the black material, is concrete, and a grassy yard fills the space around the base of the building and dense, leafy trees can be seen through an orange mesh construction barrier in the background.
